~Albacore Tuna......Tangy Tuna Burgers~

At my local Farmer's Markets I found a new-to-me fish mince......

Albacore Tuna is often called 'chicken of the sea' due to its meaty-flavoured flesh, which turns white on cooking.

The mince was white and the texture was very similar to chicken.......delicious!

Served with a simple salad......the rissoles take no time to make

Perfect for when you've been out to the markets!!!

Recipe Tangy Tuna Burgers adapted from BBC Good Food

We did have an Australian version......oh how I loved this magazine but sadly it stopped last Christmas!!!

ALBACORE TUNA BURGERS

500g minced albacore/200g tuna steaks 

1 garlic clove, finely chopped......I used 4

small knob fresh ginger, peeled and finely chopped

1 tbsp soy sauce

handful coriander leaves, chopped

1 tbsp sunflower oil......I used coconut oil

burger buns, lettuce leaves, sliced tomato and avocado, to serve

METHOD

Chop the tuna into small chunks until the tuna is roughly minced 

Tip the tuna into a bowl and mix with the garlic, ginger, soy sauce and coriander 

Shape into two patties (for the steaks)......you should get 4 out of the mince, place on a plate, then freeze for 10 mins to firm up

Heat the oil in a non-stick frying pan, then cook the burgers for 1-2 mins on each side or until done to your liking 

Serve the burgers in toasted buns with lettuce, tomato and avocado or whatever salad you prefer

This would even make a lovely meal with mashed potato and vegies!!!
